CONNECTING THE MACHINE

CONNECTING TO A NETWORK

To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN cable to the machine's network connector. Use a shielded LAN cable.

After connecting the machine to a network, be sure to configure the IP address and other network settings before installing the software. (The factory default setting for the IP address is to receive the IP address automatically when the machine is used in a DHCP environment.)

Network settings can be configured using "Network Settings" in the administrator settings on the machine.

• If the machine is used in a DHCP environment, the IP address of the machine may change. If this happens, printing will not be possible. This problem can be avoided by using a WINS server or by assigning a permanent IP address to the machine.
• This manual explains how to set up the software in a Windows network environment and in a Macintosh network environment.

Checking the IP address of the machine

You can check the IP address of the machine by printing out the "PRINTER SETTINGS LIST" in the system settings. Follow these steps to print out the "PRINTER SETTINGS LIST".

Press the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key, touch the [LIST PRINT] key, touch the [PRINTER TEST PAGE] key, and then touch the [PRINTER SETTINGS LIST] key.

CONNECTING THE MACHINE WITH A USB CABLE (Windows)

The machine can be connected to a computer using a USB cable if the computer is a Windows computer. (The USB interface on the machine cannot be used in a Macintosh environment.) The machine and computer must be connected when a message appears during installation of the printer driver. If a USB cable is connected before the printer driver is installed, the printer driver will not be installed correctly. For the procedure for connecting a USB cable, see "WHEN THE MACHINE WILL BE CONNECTED WITH A USB CABLE" (page 17).

This section explains how to install the software and configure settings so that the printer function of the machine can be used with a Windows computer.
